The Writing Revolution

Nonprofit training K–12 educators in the Hochman Method, an evidence-based approach to teaching writing across subjects.

Spooky season may be over, but there is nothing scary about the great writing instruction happening at St. Marys City Schools in Ohio.

Ms. Hoehne took advantage of a seasonal favorite TWR writing activity with her second grade class. Our team works hard to ensure that high quality writing activities like this one are available for free on our website in every season, and we are grateful when educators like Ms. Hoehne share the results with us.

She shared: "Throughout the week, students explored the theme of Halloween and pumpkins while focusing on using the conjunctions because, but, and so to strengthen their writing. Students practiced creating complete sentences and connecting their ideas to explain reasons, show contrasting ideas, and describe results. They applied their learning through a writing activity centered around Halloween and pumpkins. To bring their writing to life, students completed a pumpkin craft that connected to their written work. This lesson combined grammar, writing, and hands-on creativity to help students build their sentence-writing skills in an engaging and meaningful way."

On November 3, The Writing Revolution returned to Lynbrook Union Free School District for its Superintendent’s Conference Day, bringing K–5 educators together to strengthen their implementation of The Hochman Method®.

Now in its second year of district-wide implementation, Lynbrook educators explored strategies to strengthen student writing, from sentence expansion and revision to note-taking, outlining, and composition.

The day also included a special recognition of three Lynbrook educators featured in TWR’s new K–2 Self-Paced Training!

Thank you to Lynbrook UFSD for your continued partnership and commitment to developing confident, skilled writers.

Starting today, educators new to The Hochman Method®: K–2 can begin their self-paced training. Module 1, Introduction & Sentences, Part 1, introduces the course and the sentence-level strategies that early writing is built on.

Self-paced training is sequential. Each module builds on the one before it, so educators master each strategy before moving to the next. Module 1 also marks the start of MyTWR Tools access for self-paced members, including Judy, TWR’s AI activity generator and coach.

Educators who are already trained in the Hochman Method and hold an Ongoing Implementation: K–2 membership can now review Module 1 whenever they need it.

Ordering is open now. Learn more on our website. https://t.co/lK7zE4bOIK

Teaching writing well doesn’t mean detouring from your curriculum. The Writing Revolution is here to help you map a path that integrates stronger writing instruction into the content already planned for the academic year.

The Hochman Method is your guided map for teaching writing: a structured, step-by-step approach that starts at the sentence level and builds all the way to compositions, working in every subject and every grade.

With a route already mapped out, teachers do not have to guess at the next step. They just follow the trail, one waypoint at a time, from the start of the school year to the end.

"I really thought that it was going to be trying to teach writing in my math class. I'm actually using those strategies to teach math in a more intentional way."

Amy Wenning, a fourth-grade teacher at St. Marys City Schools, recently shared with her Board of Education how she is using the Hochman Method in math.

In fourth grade, students take on multi-step story problems for the first time, and Amy calls them "the most difficult thing to learn in fourth grade." Writing gives her students a way to slow down, ask what the data can tell them, and think carefully about their answers before they start calculating.

This is what we mean when we say writing is a tool for thinking in every subject. Thank you to Amy and the whole SMCS team for showing what that looks like in practice.

That’s a wrap on EdTech Week 2026!

AI is everywhere in education, but much of it still feels disconnected from the classroom. At “Rewriting the Future of Literacy with Human-Centered Intelligence,” our Co-CEOs Dr. Dina Zoleo and Dr. Toni-Ann Vroom and Brandon Dickens of NIIT started from a different place: pedagogy first, technology in service of it.

They shared real classroom examples, how teachers use Judy to bring writing instruction into every subject, and what we’re learning about impact along the way.

We also co-hosted an evening with our friends at EdSolutions. It was a chance to catch up with longtime partners, meet many new ones, and keep the conversation going about what coherence in education really requires.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, to NIIT, EdSolutions, and Wiley for their partnership, and to the EdTech Week team. We hope this is the first of many.

We loved visiting Beech Avenue Elementary School in Fontana, California, for our second site visit with their team.

Now in their fourth year of implementation, Beech Avenue has trained nearly its entire staff in The Hochman Method and is continuing to strengthen writing instruction across grades TK–6. It was exciting to see that commitment in action and to watch students engage with explicit, schoolwide writing instruction.

Thank you to Principal Michele Mower, Assistant Principal Theresa Gomez, and K–5 Coach Katie Knecht for welcoming us into your school community.
